Im in my second trimester and the acidity is killing me yaar, especially after dinner. I feel so full and uncomfortable even after eating thoda sa. How do u all manage this without medicines? any food tips?
Actually, hormonal changes slow down digestion during pregnancy. It is very common, but if it gets too painful, please ask your doctor to prescribe a safe antacid instead of self-medicating.
I literally survived on ginger water and lemon juice because my stomach was always upset. Don't lie down immediately after eating, walk slowly inside the house for 10 minutes.
I know how uncomfortable this feels, especially when we are already taking so many medicines. Please try sleeping with your head slightly elevated, it really helped me cope.
I also had terrible gas and bloating. What worked for me was chewing a little bit of saunf after lunch. It is natural and completely safe for the baby.
For my indigestion, my doc suggested a gentle 15-minute walk after meals, which really helped. Just make sure you have your doctor's okay before starting any routine.
